What To Bring

Plan on bringing a few handouts with you to your Hill appointment to leave with the staff person: a business card (if you have one), a brief bio, a GSA fact sheet, and a very brief summary of your research.
In addition to introducing yourself and your work, you may want to refer to GSA’s talking points for details on public issues that affect your work.
We recommend that you use the Library of Congress’s website http://thomas.loc.gov/ to look up any bills that have been introduced in your research or specialty area. This will give you a better sense of what Congress is doing about your issues prior to your meetings.

Please remember that with this meeting, you are establishing a relationship with your Member of Congress and her/his staff and becoming a valuable resource to them.
